Abstract
There is provided a decorative material that gives the impression of unevenness due to the differences in gloss of a film formed on the surface of the decorative material. This decorative material is excellent in solvent resistance; a pattern formed on it is not easily erased even when the decorative material is wiped with cloth or the like impregnated with a solvent. Such a decorative material can be produced in the following manner: a coloring layer and a pattern layer are formed on the surface of a substrate in the order mentioned; and, before forming a surface-protective layer by the use of an ionizing radiation hardening resin composition, a coating layer capable of preventing the penetration of the ionizing radiation hardening resin composition into the underlying layers is formed on the pattern layer by using a hardening resin, and a highly permeable pattern layer having permeability for the ionizing radiation hardening resin composition higher than that of the underlying coating layer is provided on top of the coating layer by the use of a hardening resin.
